Hey all,
          
          There will be no new chapter for HS Royale this week. This is obviously not ideal, as I’ve only just been falling back into the rhythm. I just finished my summer school finals and had a pretty bad cough, so that’s what’s been taking a lot of time recently. 
          
          What happened to the buffer chapters? I uh… Have already used them all. This week will give me a chance to not only finish chapter 17, but create one additional buffer chapter for situations like this.
          
          I do apologize for the inconsistencies with my upload schedule. School can be very annoying, and I hope you understand.
          
          Thank you for your patience,
          - R.J.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Prior to the morning of July 16th CST (the time I am posting this), the wrong version of chapter 14 was uploaded. I had uploaded the unedited and unformatted version. The edited version has since been updated, and it includes numerous revisions, such as deleted unnecessary scenes, lots of added clarity, the usual editing stuff. I apologize for this lapse in quality.
          
          If you want to reread the chapter then feel free. Nothing too significant was edited, but there might be small details worth catching up on. Again, sorry for the carelessness on my part.
          Thank you all for understanding.

My hiatus is over!! The next chapter of HIGH SCHOOL ROYALE IS UP!!!
          
          Go check it out! Much love to everyone who’s still stuck around with me, even after my TCC and fan-fiction days have ended 

After almost a year since the full publication of TCC and lots of feedback, I agree that the current Jack of Hearts is a poorly designed game (and in fact, the worst face card) that does not do the things that it was meant to do. Sometime this year, I will redesign the game to be longer, fairer, and just in general be a better game that is more fun to read.

Hey! It’s been a while…How’s life for ya?!

UPDATE: WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
          
          Hello all… It’s been a while. After hyping up High School Royale for months, I released then, uploaded for a month, then dipped. What the hell happened? School.
          
          I thought I’d be able to balance uploads with studying for AP exams. I was super wrong. 
          
          So… That took up all of the second half of April and the first half of May. Then as soon as AP exams ended, I had to start packing because I’m spending 8 weeks in my home country. And now I have online AP classes which take up several hours a day… So the conditions aren’t favorable for me to write, especially as I try to pump out my own educational website.
          
          BUT, you can never back down and never give up, so I’m gonna try my hardest to get back into the rhythm of writing HS Royale. Although I cannot guarantee anything I will *try* to upload my first chapter back on July 1st.
          
          I will try to keep my best to keep you guys updated. Well, the ones who are still here :). To you few who’ve stuck around all this time, I really appreciate it, it means a lot. In the off chance you’re new, I hope you do decide to stick around.
          
          Thank you truly, for all the patience and understanding.

Hey guys! To all my High School Royale fans, I just want to let you know that there’s a slight update to a few chapters.
          
          It’s inevitable when you release as chapters are ready that there’ll be slight oversights occasionally.
          
          IN CHAPTER 1, the full interface of the phone we’re never clarified. In Raymond’s POV, he now fully explores and describes every feature.
          
          IN CHAPTER 3, Jesse gets a message, which causes an audible alert. Messages are meant to cause a notification alert.
          
          IN CHAPTER 5/6, Jesse and Maria will now  A judicially embrace before and after lunch period. I don’t know how I forgot to include this.
          
          Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for these oversights.

          Across the school, six students will battle for survival and discover the meaning of trust and betrayal.
          
          RAYMOND is the junior valedictorian, a loner who makes up for it with brains.
          
          SKYLAR is the most popular girl in school, who has tabs on almost everyone from her yearbook and newspaper class.
          
          JESSE is a star athlete on the varsity baseball team, looking to protect his friends.
          
          ALYSSA is a kind girl of many talents, a doctor-in-training and former cheer captain.
          
          GRACE sticks to herself and prioritizes survival, but has mastered the sport of archery.
          
          ROWAN is a freshman who struggles in school, having lived in his brother's shadow his whole life.
          
          These six people don't know much about each other at the start of the games, but will find their fates entwined in ways none of them will have expected. As the games go on, friendships will be forged and challenged, and loyalties will be tested. Out of the battlefields will come unbreakable bonds and resilient hope.
          
          The clock ticks down. The only way out is to play, and the only way to play is to fight.

Hey guys. It's been a while, hasn't it? I have not been active on Wattpad nor revised TCC for the past few months. While this is not ideal, I have been dedicating all my time—when I'm not swamped with schoolwork—to my next project, as promised last year.
          
          And now, it's nearly ready.
          
          ===
          
          It would've been a normal Friday.
          
          Weekend plans. Chemistry tests. Relationship rumors. Choir drama.
          
          But, on that day, at 9:10 a.m., all 1,484 students of Stonewall Academy High School wake up on their homeroom desk.
          
          With almost zero memories of the morning before, there's two things in common about each of them: They each have a tight bracelet around their wrist and identical smartphones on their desks.
          
          With barely any time to process things, they're called down to the cafeteria, where the rules to a simple game are announced.
          
          1. In everyone's locker is an object which would be of greatest use to them.
          2. On everyone's phones are apps to help them.
          3. With whatever means, every student must kill each other.
          4. The last student remaining emerges victorious.

Hey everyone!
          
          Just letting you guys know that this week during revisions, I actually added a whole new chapter!
          
          37) Negotiations takes places after 36) Infiltration. It’s a bridge chapter that better ties together the Beach arc (which in my head has always been a bit rushed and lacked development). 
          
          If you’ve finished reading TCC, feel free to go back and check it out! If you’re currently reading it, Wattpad can have some sync issues because it was added so long after the rest of the chapters, so you might’ve skipped it. Just letting you guys know, so y’all don’t accidentally skip a chapter.
          
          Anyways, that’s all! Thank you!
